Things to do
Adventure out, then come home to the fire
At the Inn
Our property is nestled between the crystal-clear waters of Echo Lake and the renowned Black River. Come down to our private dock to swim, fish, canoe, or simply sit and breathe in the loveliness of this amazing place.
Okemo Mountain Resort
A family-operated four-season playground. Whether you ski, golf, zipline or wall-climb, Okemo is always full of activities. Less than 5 miles from the Inn.
Killington & Pico
“The Beast of the East” is the largest ski resort in the Eastern US, with New England's biggest vertical drop at 3,050 ft. Pico next door is smaller, quieter and less crowded. Both are a 15–20 minute drive.
Hiking the Long Trail
Thirty minutes to an entrance to the Long Trail — the oldest long-distance trail in the country at 272 miles. It coincides with the Appalachian Trail for 100 miles until the two split at Maine Junction near Killington.
Cultural sites
From the Calvin Coolidge Homestead and village to the Simon Pearce glass and pottery showroom, there's something to explore within miles of the Inn.
Ludlow Farmers Market
Every Friday 4–7pm from Memorial Day to Columbus Day, Ludlow hosts over 30 local vendors — crafts, produce, cheese and pottery. Home-grown goodness from our neighborhood.
Scenic Route 100 Byway
We sit right on Route 100 — “Vermont's Main Street,” also called the Skier's Highway. Its 146 miles thread past covered bridges, farm stands and waterfalls, from West Dover in the south all the way up through Waterbury and Stowe.
The Vermont Country Store
America's premier family-owned general storekeeper, in Weston about 20 minutes away, with a second store in Rockingham. Hard-to-find classics, Vermont cheese and a candy counter worth the drive on its own.
Weston Theater Company
Professional summer theater in a converted Vermont mill village — one of the oldest and best-regarded companies in the state, and an easy evening out from the Inn.
Plymouth Notch & Plymouth Cheese
Up Route 100A, the Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site preserves the village where the 30th president was born and sworn in by lamplight. The Plymouth Artisan Cheese factory next door has been making granular curd cheese since 1890.
Golf in the valley
The Okemo Valley Golf Club's heathland-style course and the Fox Run nine sit minutes from the Inn, with more championship play at Killington and Green Mountain National a short drive north.
Waterfalls & state parks
Buttermilk Falls is a five-minute drive for a cold swim. Farther along Route 100 you'll find Moss Glen Falls, Jamaica State Park and the Ascutney trail network for longer days on foot.
Festivals all season
The Okemo Valley Regional Chamber fills the calendar — the Best of Vermont Summer Festival, harvest and foliage weekends, craft fairs and holiday strolls run from the first strawberries right through Thanksgiving.
Winter
Five miles to first chair
Okemo, Killington and Pico put groomers, glades and powder days within an easy morning drive — and little ones get booted up just as fast.
The Okemo Valley
Twelve villages, one valley
The Inn sits at the centre of the Okemo Valley — twelve small South Central Vermont towns and their surrounding communities, each with its own green, general store and share of the mountains.
